‘Docs say I’m cured… I want to pop out to shops for a day’

THE Yorkshire Ripper has been taped in Broadmoor telling how he expects to get DAY
RELEASE — and thanking shrinks for curing his demons.

Psychopath Peter Sutcliffe says the only person blocking his move to a cushy
new facility — freeing him to “pop to the shops” — is the high-security
hospital’s chief doctor.

The serial killer’s frustration is exposed in astonishing phone conversations
with his younger brother — recorded and leaked to The Sun after our
revelations about the monster’s chumminess with pervert Jimmy Savile.

For the first time ever Sutcliffe can be heard whining at length about his
lot — three decades after he was caged for murdering 13 women.

He tells of his CONTEMPT for Broadmoor — and how he is desperate to
quit the Berkshire hospital after being CLEARED for a move to a
medium-security facility.

Sutcliffe, now 66, goes on to BLAST Dr Kevin Murray — Broadmoor’s
clinical director — for standing in his way.

In one of the conversations with his brother Carl — who Sutcliffe spends 15
minutes on the phone to every Tuesday — he rages: “Dr Murray turned down
several medium secure units willing to accept me.

“He says. ‘They can’t fulfil your needs’. He never says what my needs are.
He talks to them and turns them down without even telling me.”

The cushier hospitals are not identified. There are around 30 dotted around
the UK that are classed as medium-security.

Sutcliffe’s latest rants emerged barely a week after The Sun told of the
beast’s loyalty to late pal Savile — who befriended him during visits.

The Ripper insisted the BBC paedo was innocent of abusing kids — and sneered
victims were talking “ rubbish”.

Last night even his brother branded Sutcliffe’s defence of the pervert “out of
order”.

Carl said: “But there again, you couldn’t get a better character reference for
Jimmy Savile than the Yorkshire Ripper.”

Sutcliffe — diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia — has been deemed a “low
risk” patient as long as he takes his meds.

His phone calls to his brother give a fascinating insight into the killer’s
mind as he spouts off about a range of topics.

ON PENPALS

He tells how he has cut the letters he writes to “about 30 a week” because of
the crippling postage. He used to correspond with people “all over the
world”. Sutcliffe says: “I did get writer’s cramp for quite a while.” He
says of one foreign chum: “I’ve got a young friend Fiona, she’s only 21.

“She writes every week and sends some nice cards and letters. She’s a
brilliant artist.

“I’ve commissioned her to do a picture of me.”

ON VISITORS

Sutcliffe boasts how there is no shortage. He says: “I’ve got visits
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday now next week.”

ON SECURITY

The Ripper whinges how everything sent to him has to be rigorously checked. He
moans: “I still haven’t got that calendar yet. It goes from one department
to another. It had that wire binding, you’re not allowed that.

You wouldn’t believe it here. The security measures for all daft stuff like
Sellotape and Blu Tack and all sorts of daft stuff you can’t have.”

ON LAWYERS

ON GRUB

The monster tells how he never eats lunch and has slimmed from 20st — when he
was feared to be eating himself to death — to 16. The Ripper says: “Food
disgusts me. I’ve gone right off eating. You only eat to stay alive as far
as I’m concerned.” But he does still have a sweet tooth.

Sutcliffe says: “I’ve got a jar of honey in my room. I have toast at night,
plenty of honey on.”

ON GOD

The killer who claimed he was on a divine mission to clear the streets of
prostitutes is now a Jehovah’s Witness.

He reads the group’s Watchtower magazine and sends it to friends and family in
the hope of converting them.

Sutcliffe moans to his brother he could not find the latest copy following a
hospital search of his room. He says: “I’ve been spending the last hour and
a half looking for a Watchtower. I couldn’t find it anywhere. I only found
it about 20 minutes ago. I was looking for ages.” He instantly realised it
was exactly where he had left it.

Sutcliffe confesses: “I wasted so much time and it was in there all the time.
I’d put it in there by accident so that’s all right for tomorrow now.”

ON PSYCHOLOGISTS

He tells how he is sick of them pestering him.

The Ripper says: “I’ve had enough of them in this place. You know they are
always turning up.”

ON TELEVISION

The ex-lorry driver shows a fondness for documentary-style shows as he proudly
reveals: “I just watched that Eddie Stobart. Brought a few memories back,
trucking days, you know.”

ON BOOKS

He tells how he struggles to read with his remaining good eye. He lost his
left one when he was attacked in Broadmoor in 1997. Sutcliffe says: “I miss
having a good read. I can’t do it now, my eyesight.” But after reaching
retirement age he still claims to be fit.

ON HEALTH

He says he is not about to pop his clogs any time soon. Sutcliffe boasts: “I
reckon I’m OK for a few more years yet.”

ON EVERYTHING ELSE

MARRIAGE he does not think it has much of a future as an institution
and is “dying out”. He says: “People are just living together.”

PHILOSOPHY Sutcliffe offers up his favourite maxim. His pearl of wisdom
is: “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise.”

UNIVERSITY FEES He says: “17 grand a year, it’s ridiculous ‘cos there
are people walking about with degrees even from Oxford and Cambridge and
they haven’t got a blooming job, they can’t get a job.”

CELEBRATIONShe lets rip at one in particular — New Year’s Eve. Sutcliffe
says: “I don’t bother. It’s only an ordinary bloody day the 1st of January,
nothing to get excited about.

“It’s only another year, although let’s hope it’s a better one than the last
one.”
